Right, grab your board, it's Rusty here with a look at what's coming up for Jaconé.
We've got a bit of a mixed bag ahead. The first decent wave window kicks off this Saturday afternoon, the 11th of July. It's a solid start with a clean 4ft SE groundswell, period pushing 13 seconds. Water temp is sitting right on normal for this time of year at 73°F. The wind is light and cross-off from the ESE, so expect tidy lines. Combined swell energy is moderate at (454). It's not huge, but it's a good, clean start.
Sunday morning the 12th is a bit marginal with some clouds and a light cross-on breeze, dropping to 3ft. The real story shifts later in the week.
Monday the 13th is a write-off – strong onshore winds and messy, rainy conditions with a raw 8ft swell that's too junky for anything fun.
Tuesday the 14th is still pretty average. Morning has rain and a messy 7ft swell with onshore wind. The afternoon cleans up a little with a lighter breeze, but that 8ft SSE swell is pushing big and the energy is really pumping (1872). It's going to be a surging, powerful wave – one for experienced surfers only. The light cross-on wind might make it a bit bumpy on the face.
Now, here's the standout. Thursday the 16th of July is your best bet this whole period. We've got a lovely 7ft SE groundswell with a 12-second period – that's proper groundswell with good shape and heaps of energy (1301). The morning is absolute glass with a gentle offshore from the NE. It's going to be clean, powerful, and lined up. That said, at 7ft, it's pushing into expert-only territory. Expect a crowd, as this spot can get busy. Thursday afternoon stays clean but the wind picks up.
Friday the 17th drops back to a smaller 4ft SE swell, still clean in the morning with a gentle offshore. It'll be a nice, fun size for more intermediate surfers, but nothing special.
The following week from Saturday the 18th through to Thursday the 23rd is all small, short-period ENE windswell – 2ft to 6ft, with a period of just 7 or 8 seconds. It's clean, but gutless and inconsistent. Not worth getting excited about.
Things start to look more promising again from Friday the 24th into the weekend. Saturday the 25th of July afternoon is another one to circle. The swell bumps up to 5ft from the SSE, and the period jumps to a very impressive 13 seconds (energy 684). That's a beautiful, long-period groundswell with real punch. With a light SE breeze keeping it clean, this will produce some well-shaped, powerful waves. It's still a friendly intermediate size too. Possibly a few others out, but the quality could be worth it.
Sunday the 26th looks similar – a consistent 4-5ft SE groundswell with a long 12-second period. The morning has barely any wind, just a slight air, making for nearly perfect clean conditions. Energy is strong at (920). This is a very tidy weekend of surf.
So, to wrap it up: Don't rush out for the weak windswell mid-period. Your two real standouts are Thursday the 16th for the bigger, expert swell, and the afternoon of Saturday the 25th and all of Sunday the 26th for the excellent quality, long-period groundswell in the intermediate-friendly size range.
Stay stoked,
Rusty.

Information about the Jaconé Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Jaconé provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Jaconé can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Jaconé surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Jaconé) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Jaconé may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Jacone is 14 km (9 miles) from the city of Saquarema. If you plan a holiday in Rio de Janeiro, look for hotels and other accommodation in Saquarema. Saquarema has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
